Aloha! My name is Nick. I moved to Maui from the mainland and quickly started my own transportation service. I cherish the land here and enjoy boogie boarding and golfing on my days off. For 20 years, I've worked with my company providing tours for people from all over the world. It has been my sole job on the island. My favorite tour is the "highlights of the island tour" as it combines so many aspects of the island to give you a great overview of Maui. It allows for me to build a great day for you. Hawaii is a special place and Maui may be the best island. I focus on showing the authentic Hawaii. From the land, to the people to the sea. I'll educate you on the history of this great culture and leave you with a lasting memory of your time spent here. Fully licensed taxi tour guide. Fully insured with commercial insurance. There's no restrictions on the tours I offer. If you were to book a tour in Maui WITHOUT a permitted guide and permitted vehicle (which I provide) it'd be illegal. Make sure you read reviews and see pictures of the vehicles having PUC numbers/taxi permits.

Overview of your Maui tour

On this tour, you'll have the chance to explore what was once the hub of all local activity before tourism became the staple industry of Maui: Wailuku Town sits in the shadows of the lush, ancient volcano known as Hale Mahina. The road we'll take heads directly into the erosion valley known as Iao. It means "cloud supreme". Over 300 inches of rain falls here every year! After you're done exploring, we'll head towards the Maui Tropical Plantation, the largest one on the island. I strongly suggest you take advantage of all the flowers and ponds for a great picture! Ice cream, coffee and other treats are for sale here, so you'll be able to grab one and relax under a Banyan Tree! For the last part of the tour, we'll go across the old Maui ranch land and even stop at a vintage cowboy town, a 3, 000 foot scenic lookout and pass through defunct pineapple lands, until reaching Ho'okipa Beach park. Keep an eye out for surfers and green Hawaiian sea turtles! As many as 100 turtles can be seen napping in the sand!
